Day 37 – Week 6 – 6 mins
Spreading the Word…
Managed to get up and do five minutes on the bosu and then one minute of stretching this morning. You’ll be delighted to hear I ventured away from Pink today, and had a listen to a Lady Gaga song, which I thoroughly enjoyed. In fact the tempo of the song was ideal for stepping on and off the bosu. See – I can experiment and expand my horizons! I can be adventurous, despite all evidence to the contrary! Unfortunately I only had one Lady Gaga song on my ipod, so will have to raid my fella’s CD cabinet to see if he has any more.
I was delighted to be invited to write a guest post on the Creating A Better Life blog. So now – our message is spreading further afield. From the comments on that post you can see people are taking the oneminute+ concept to reach other exercise and health goals. Good to see.
How are you going?

Day 36 – Week 6 – 6 mins
Today I added a minute of stretching to my five minute arms workout. It does feel a little bit like cheating, going straight from what is basically a warm up to stretching, without any of the really hard stuff in between – but the truth is, the stretching is an important part of any routine. And I looooove stretching, so I think that after five weeks I deserve a bit of a reward – I mean – it’s a pretty healthy reward, right? It’s not like I’m buying myself a big piece of chocolate cake.
Our overall routine must include several minutes of stretching at the end, so I am going to be slipping them in to the workout from time to time as we go along.
I am thinking, that if I’m stretching every day – it really, might just be possible that by the end of my year, and I can once more do the splits. What a bonus that would be!
So – five minutes of arms and one minute of stretching – that’s my six minutes for the day. How about you?
